Katherine Rutecki - Personal Mythologies

Rutecki’s extensive technical knowledge, intelligence and industry experience have led to many distinguished projects worldwide. These experiences, combined with her unique sensibilities have seen her work become highly sought after by those who value uncommon creativity and exceptional craftsmanship. Her ability to understand and interpret materiality and form is truly exceptional.

This marks American born Rutecki's first solo show in Aotearoa for almost a decade. Her work showcases a multidisciplinary approach, blending various casting techniques and materials to create a deeply imaginative artistic world. We admire her ability to weave stories through her casting methods and the distinctive way she represents her knowledge.
